How does AI change me and my life right now?

(Please note that we invite people through multiple channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)

We talk a lot about how AI will change the world one day, but what can we observe right now?

How does it change our lives today — and how does it change us?
Does it enable us to do things that are good and important for us? Does it actually make us lose skills already? How does it change the way we speak, think and interact with each other?

In this event we want to collect micro observations – negative and positive ones – that we personally have made, and learn from each other’s experiences.

As always, at this event we will try out new methods to make our discussion more focused, relaxed, and meaningful.

This event is co-organized and co-hosted by Gopika Nair, who participated in a previous event and then suggested organizing this one together.

FAQ

What can I expect from the event?
Each event is a an experiment so it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will play out or feel.
Our intention is always to create a space where conversations unfold more mindfully, relaxed, and insightful than they would in an unmoderated setting.

To achieve this, we experiment with different rules, which may work better or worse at times
In any case, it’s always worth sticking around for a while after the moderated part – our participants are lovely, and it’s a great additional opportunity to exchange ideas.

Who is this event for?
This event is for anyone who is curious about the topic and/or the method.
We aim to create spaces where people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds feel welcome.

Do I have to actively participate, or can I just listen?
It’s perfectly fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be and will not be asked to speak.

However, there might be a name round as well as breakout groups, i.e. short segments in which all participants talk in groups of 2-3 people. You do not have to participate in these; you can use the time for a break instead.

What is "The Discussion Experiment"
The Discussion Experiment is an ongoing series of events through which we continuously test methods that foster more meaningful and inspiring group conversations.

Among other things, we experiment with techniques that slow down discussions, improve clarity, and support participants in expressing their ideas more effectively.
